Fake Love
“If it was for you,
I could pretend to be happy even when I’m sad
If it was for you
I could pretend to be strong even when I was hurting.
I wish that love would only need love to be perfect,
That all my flaws would be hidden.
In a dream that wouldn’t come true,
I grew a flower that couldn’t bloom.”
Okay firstly, the song is Korean (BTS is Korean Pop boy group) so I wrote the English translation of my favourite line in the song.

Struck a Nerve - Bad Religion
There’s an old man on a city bus
Holding a candy cane
And it isn’t even Christmas
He sees a note in the obituary
That his last friend has died
There’s an infant clinging
To his overweight mother in the cold
As they go to shop for cigarettes
As she spends her last dollar
On a bottle of vodka for tonight
And I guess it struck a nerve
Like I had to squint my eyes
You can never get out
Of the line of sight
If You Could Read My Mind
“I will never be set free as long as I’m a ghost that you can’t see.”
“When you reach the part where the heartache comes the hero would be me, but heroes often fail, but you won’t read that book again because the ending is just too hard to take.”
“I’d walk away like a movie star that gets burned in a three way script.”
“If you read between the lines you’ll know that I’m just trying to understand, the feelings that you lack.”
--Gordon Lightfoot--
